- A bitter sweet video this time around, the boys finish work on the mega stepup with a bigger and better rock wall landing! Theo wastes some time before hitting it, but unfortunately I get back the results from my ankle MRI and its not looking good...

Thanks for the messages everyone! I’m back home and working on the ankle as much as I can, I really hope I can ride next week but even if not I’ll be back out there and will keep making videos for you guys!
So gutted for you Sam, but with more time on your hands I reckon your vlogs will be extra special 💯🔥😉
Get well soon 👊🏼 @samreynolds26
Man, that really sucks, hope you can get surgery and it heals back up fully, don't need that with the sort of riding you do. Shout out to Theo for being this years guinea pig, good luck on the testing.
Snapped ligaments are no joke, the healing process is very slow.
Not what you want to hear, but there's always next year.
must be so shit bro get better soon 🙏🙏
tao's laugh is so infectious
haha ikr
We love Theo “Wish Sam”
Man that’s sucks, hope your better soon Sam
@ 14:00 It starts to feel like you gave your homie a Feewheel Burning segment. Lots of character in this episode. I think Theo will take good care of the channel for you. I obliterated my ankle immediately before a world cup competition once and I can relate the wild optimistic denial as I pretended there was any way I could stuff my foot into a ski boot. Take all the time you need for a well healed triumphant return.
Hear, hear Sir. - M
Such is the life of a downhill/dirt jumper. Been there done that for many decades. At 62, I really enjoy being a full time spectator now 😀
😀
Gutted for you Sam
Wishing you a speedy recovery and stay strong mentally dude, we can't imagine how sh*t it must feel missing out on Darkfest 😔
Oh man that sucks! Sam get better soon. Theo you got this man.
I think people who operate machinery are the only ones who truely appreciate the skill that goes into building that rock retaining wall off an angle like that haha
I've never operated any machinery and when I saw that rock wall I honestly thought wow, I could never do that
Gutted for you Sam, Darkfest legend.
The channel is in good hands with CA and Theo, looking forward to more first hits
Fingers crossed for quick recovery
Wishing you wellererer and a speedy recovery - I’m sure you don’t want to miss participating in this year’s event, but a proper session of mending is probably what the doctor will prescribe. Do what you need and get back for the beers! Deep respect!
Can Theo please be Sam’s Jamie and Ben from now on?
Bummer! Get well soon boss🤕
Theo beeing hyped after the first hit really got me hyped as well. I know this feeling. Landing a biggie is the best!!
The course looks sick, as usual and BRUTAL update from Sam! Seriously bummed for you, man. Heal well and looking forward to seeing you back out there when you're able. Cheers!
Ohhhhh yeaaaaaaa boizzz 🤙🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥hopefully you’ll heal up soon 🤙🏽
Get better soon Sam.You've got to ride here pal.
Ahh damn, very sorry to hear the news. Rough way to start the year, but that only means it will close wayyy better than it is starting!! Keep your head up Sammy!
Gnarly bruising mate!!!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
Dispite the injury (get better soon) these are my favorite videos from sam
Oh no thats horrible news. Get well soon and please dont push yourself too early. I feel like even if you cant ride, you are going to make the event even more enjoyable and amazing for everyone else.
Tao’s Jeff Spicolli laugh is killing me.
Gutted for you mate. But we're all pulling for you and wish you a speedy recovery. I've done an ankle and that moon boot is no fun. Stick with the recovery, physio, etcv.. and you'll be back on the bike in no time.
Get better fast Sam! Finger crossed 🤞
I love it how Theo is probably one of the best riders in the world,but he's still shitting bricks about testing the line.He's a perfect replacement for Sam.(Sam from wish,love it)
Holy shit Duran(or whoever that is at 4:15)is more jacked than Hugh Jackman for the last wolverine!
Gutted for you Sam, but at least you have Theo the legend to step in if needed!
Gutted for you Sam. Hoping for a quick recovery for you. 👊💚Theo is a legend! 🤟😎🔥
Get well soon Sam ! A lot of ppl here know the frustration to be in this case whatever the sport or the passion they are in but on thing is 100%, Darkfest will be and you will be there to make it happens and as good as always
Sorry to hear about the ankle Mr. Reynolds! Sucks to get injured... currently I'm also out of action from a serious rib cage injury from a week back, and I'm seriously itching to get back on the bike.
Stay on top of it Sam! You will heal and the channel is in good hands with Theo.
Get well soon brother. Fingers crossed and prayers for you. Wish you the best.
Loving it boi🎉🎉🎉🎉
That rock wall was a sick build. Esp keeping those rocks up there! And Sam... So sorry for the set back! Send'n ya positive energy for a quick heal from here in Vermont in the US!
Get well soon mate, we all hope you‘ll be back and able to get some of that sweet airtime out there!
Heal up Sam!! Best of luck!
Hey Sam, ive just recently broken my elbow riding so i know exactly how you feel. Im a volleyball player and had my two biggest tournaments of the year coming up just broke my arm just before them, i was even training with my arm before i found out it was broken. When the doctors told me that i wasnt going to be able to play it was so surreal and i didnt even believe it. After a few weeks though you come to realise that its for the better and if you rest it well now then youll be able to ride again in no time. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully youll be back on the bike soon enough.
Wishing you a Speedy recovery Sam lad
Best of luck with a quick recovery
Speedy recovery Sam, gutted for you.
Rough Sam, hope the recovery goes as well and quick as it can mate. 🤘
Speedy recovery mate, chin up 👍🏼💪🏼
Gutted dude ! hope you have a speedy recovery, take it easy!
So bummed out for you Sam! At least you said you'll come back for the main cause its not darkfest without you!!!
Jumps over a half of a football field, all fine
Spitting out frome a berm, put him to hospital.
This sport is mysterious😅😅😅
Hope you get better soon Sam!
Be well Sam and heal up. Can't wait to see you back out in a few weeks.
Unlucky Sam. Speedy recovery. Taos got this 😂😂😂
Such a bummer! Get better soon!
Dude can't wait been hooked on MTB jumping since I watched my first crank works slopestyle live last year.
Eyy wish you a speedy recovery Sam
Ah Sam. After all you do you get taken out by a berm. get well soon and all the best and hope to see you back out there soon.
speedy recovery, and good luck theo with the 110 😘
We are with you Theo! You got this my brudda
Take care. Recover. Missing the riding will hurt this year. Next year will feel all sweeter because of it.
Doood! That sucks, get better soon and we hope to see you in the vids for the event even if it’s just for your totally British commentary on what is happening. Take care. 🫶
Theo is DA MAN! Awesome guys :)
I’m sorry man… But Tao’s energy and optimism is freaking great!
Damn Sam, heal fast!!! 💪. ... Let's gooo Theooooo ....
Ow hard luck Sam, won’t be the same workup to DarkFest without you, get well soon
Quick recovery R-Dog
sweet step up!
so sorry bout your foot....postive vibes
oh 😕 hopefully you can get back soon 🤞but yeah... 😥 Maybe there could be some way to cover the rocks with the dirt..it looks pretty brutal like this...which is awesome but for the tricks and stuff...
Aw man im gutted for you brotha. Let that foot heal up and get back soon
Get well soon legend!
Yew Theo carrying the channel!
Gutted for you mate, I could tell you were shattered. Rest up, pray to the bike gods for a speedy recovery 🤙
get well soon Sam!
You need Thomas the tank isted out there testing
Hope you heal up quickly!
That bruising looks exactly like my foot when i got a hairline fracture on my ankle, hope you recover in time to safely get down the track ❤
"there's no point doing run ins", words to live by
That's really crap, sorry Sam. Of course the drone got caught up in a tree just to add the icing. Theo's gonna hit 1 million subs with pro presenting.
Theo is the best Wish Sam ever!
quick recovery!
Was hoping it was just a sprain, on the bright side it couldve been worse. Heal up and hope you get to at least hit it when you come back.🤘
Damn, Darkfest just isn't going to be the same without you this year.
Bad luck Sam - shit happens- hope for an ankle miracle ✨
Theo gonna have to test now 😂
Might as well hang out with Ollie Wilkins for a bit!
Speedy healing
Dude that sucks you want be able to ride get well soon 👍🏻
Omg, Sam’s feet pics! 😍
You gotta test it bro.. panic laugh ahah
Hey Sam! Hope that Kankle heals up/settles enough to get some laps in. Question: What drone setup are you running, or would recommend? (sorry if you've covered this and I missed it)
Cheers
You know these jumps are insane when you see these pro riders so scared to take the first hits.
Yeeeeeaaaaa Theo! Fukin love that guy.
You must be spitting blood about your injury?! Everybody including myself I'm sure are disappointed with it especially the homie having to test the step up by himself, but great decision extending the landing on the step up because there's a lot more casing than over shooting on it, and like you said, the riders can explore more difficult tricks. 👍 hope your recovery is swift and without to many complications.
Gutted for you dude
Gutted for ya dude.
Bummer……really sorry Sam
Hope you get better. It won’t be the same without you if you can’t make it 😢
That's rough news Sam... take care dude 🤟
Looking forward to the next vids with that awesome South African LoL.. (sorry dude, how do you spell your name ❓gunna be rad az 😎.... cheers to you all 🤟✨
